[phyrrus9]

and a few of us who've met irl sometimes still call each other by our forum usernames face-to-face.

Is that not normal? It'll be odd following @phyrrus9 around at DEFCON calling him 'phy' then.

huh? You asked if it's not the norm, then said it would be weird doing that with Phyrrus xD

It's pretty normal, people who don't know me very well do that at conferences. a lot of people know my actual name though
